The Beast And Mr Knock

Someone has to want what they’re selling
Someone has the money to buy
Someone has to pay for the things that were done
Are you Mr Knock?
Are you Mr Lights-out?
Feed them in and drown out the crying
Drain them all and throw out the waste
Appetite sated, belly all full
Are you Mr Knock?
Are you Mr Lights-out?
We know you well
We’ve seen your soul
Children should be quiet
Children should do as they’re told
No-one’s gonna speak till we make them
No-one came to answer our prayers
No-one’s gonna squeal but the fires will burn
Are you Mr Knock?
Are you Mr Lights-out?
Spit them out when nobody’s looking
Empty husks eaten and chewed
Yes we were scared, and yes we’re still frightened
Are you Mr Knock?
Are you Mr Lights-out?
We know you well
We’ve seen your soul
Children should be quiet
Children should do as they’re told
Stopping to taste the flowers,
A rough beast waits to be called
Stopping to sharpen claws
Everybody says they’re protected
Everybody says we can’t win
Everyone says we’re already dead
Well this is the beast
This is the lights on
We know you well
We’ve seen your soul
Children aren’t quiet
Children won’t do as they’re told

I didn't think I would like this record but it's so infectious in its ability to change from prog to post rock then to psychedelic and onwards into alternative metal. Such an amazing feat to introduce the saxophone and it sounds so cool, this record is outstanding.
